Brain and Carotid Arteries - MRI Scan

• Evidence of intra cranial pathology, aneurysm or arterial narrowing.

Full Spine - MRI Scan

• MRi scan for the Neck, Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar Spine. Evidence of spinal degeneration or disc prolapse.

Abdomen - MRI Scan

• Determine any malignancy of Liver, Spleen and Kidneys. Evidence of Gall Stones.

Pelvis - MRI Scan

• Male patients - Evidence of prostate, rectum or bladder pathology.
• Female patients - Evidence of ovarian, uterus, rectum or bladder pathology.

Note - More regions can be added based on the patient's lifestyle, family and medical history.

What is an MRI Full Body Scan?

• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to obtain detailed views of the organs, tissues and skeletal system.
• It is a non-invasive way to diagnose abnormalities in body structure by producing high resolution images.

When is an MRI Scan performed?

• To detect brain and spine problems like strokes, tumors and aneurysms.
• To measure metabolical changes in the brain - Functional MRI.
• To analyse disorders of the eye and inner ear.
• To detect problems with internal organs like the Liver, Kidney or Pancreas.
• To measure the size of heart, thickness of heart walls and other structures.
• To analyse bone and joint abnormalities, infections and tumours in soft tissues.
• To detect breast cancer.

How is MRI Scan different from CT Scan?

• MRI can show clearer differences between normal and abnormal tissue while CT Scans can sometimes provide more detail about the heart, lungs, pelvis, hips, reproductive systems, bladder and gastrointestinal tract.
• MRI scans are safe and are commonly used for preventative checks.
• MRI scans do not involves any radiation, while CT scans involve radiation.
• MRI scans take more time than CT scans and are generally noisier.
